I noticed that the first three members of the management team are medical doctors, yes it\u2019s health-related, but really it is a huge enterprise and it\u2019s going to be a huge financial enterprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt will be dealing with people and dealing with a huge amount of money, so it is more than just a medical profession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is important to have an organisation that is full of sound financial management and ICT base because you are going to deal with a lot of information and data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo, it is beyond just medical, it is a huge enterprise that is to be run based on strict financial regulation and best business practices. So you as the head, this is something you have to think very carefully.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bello also directed the leadership of the FHIS to ensure that residents of the FCT were adequately enlightened about the services of the scheme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Muhammad Bello, has called for the inclusion of critical stakeholders in the management of the city\u2019s Health Insurance Scheme (FHIS).
